"Go check it immediately! Any laboratory that can manufacture this kind of polymer liquid bomb will be reviewed!" the commissioner immediately shouted.
Now it was the other police officers' turn to find themselves in trouble.
"Commissioner... the laboratories with such qualifications... are basically laboratories that cooperate with the military. And most of them are not in New York. We have no law enforcement authority."
The New York Police Department has nothing to say in New York. After all, it is its own territory. But outside of New York, whether others can dump you or not depends entirely on their mood. What's more, the military even refuses the intervention of federal law enforcement agencies. They have their own law enforcement forces. In many well-known military corruption cases, the federal government wanted to intervene in the investigation, but was rejected. It was obvious corruption, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it, but the military refused to let it go.
You, the New York Police Department... are so out of your mind!
The commissioner himself was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he shouted even more aggressively: "Then send a request for assistance! This is a terrorist attack!"
This attack was really serious. Unless the military controlled the explosion themselves, they would not have the guts to block the investigation. Of course, the New York police don't have the ability to get the military to make concessions. If they really want to investigate, the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI will have to deal with the military. The reason why the commissioner said this was to add drama to himself, to prove that he was not lazy and was working hard, which was a stealth scapegoat.
It's not that I don't work hard, it's that the military doesn't cooperate.
He thought very well. Even if the military knew what he was thinking, they would not pay attention to him. After all, the military is the largest force in the United States, and it still has its due arrogance.
Although the others didn't understand the commissioner's behavior, they still curled their lips inwardly.
This man has a bad mind!
Fortunately, the commissioner quickly restrained himself and said to Kai: "Kay, I now officially appoint you as the deputy commissioner of the New York Police Department, in charge of counter-terrorism and special forces! You will cooperate with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, At the same time, contact the military to advance the case investigation! I need to get the results as soon as possible! Give New Yorkers a safe New York!”
Kai was stunned, had he been promoted?
But he didn't want to. The salary from his promotion was not enough to buy him a suit.
"Huh? I have no plans to leave the 15th Precinct. I'm fine here."
The commissioner waved his hand and said very grandly: "Then you can continue to serve as the director of the 15th Branch!"
The United States does not follow orders and has great flexibility. It depends on the person's operation. Appointments like this, which absolutely violate organizational principles in China, are not uncommon in the United States. After all, other people’s diplomats are valued for their political donations.
That's right, in the United States, diplomats, positions that require extremely strong professional knowledge, are basically used by the president to sell their positions. Many wealthy people take this path to enter the political circle.
There are several ways to get into politics in the United States.
Either start participating in politics from a low-level administrative district, such as starting to work for a party in a certain county, and work your way up through the ranks. This is the most traditional, and many establishment factions of both parties follow this path. If such people can climb to high positions, they are basically considered bosses of both parties. Because they have the strongest foundation and have huge connections and prestige among the two parties.
But the disadvantage is that it is relatively slow, and Hillary is of this school. A lifetime of wallowing in political parties.
There is also the possibility of becoming a lawyer, and a lawyer can change his job to become a prosecutor at any time. Both of these are very portable. After becoming a prosecutor, you can enter the political channel, continue to work hard, accumulate popularity and connections, and then take the road of running for election. Or you can directly continue to advance within the system, reach a certain height, and then come out to run for office.
Or just run directly for election. If you are rich, you have the resources to build momentum for yourself. However, the effect of doing so is generally not very good, except for a certain treasure. Basically no achievements. Comparative voters naturally trust candidates with more experience. When other candidates are running for office, they just talk about where they have served the people and how many years they have served.
What do you say as a rich man?
How much money do I make in my own company? Don't be ridiculous, voters vote to elect someone who can represent their own interests, not a guy who just makes money for himself.
This has always been regarded as a consensus until a certain treasure was born. Only then did this curse be broken.
And those who can do this need to be particularly wealthy. After all, running for office costs money, lots and lots of money! And if you are not rich enough and well-known enough, the cost will increase exponentially, otherwise the voters will know who you are?
So for those rich people who are rich but not particularly rich, this road is basically useless.
The last way is to sell your official position and get a title.
Don't be surprised, this is the basic operation.
It is legal to accept political donations in U.S. elections, and of course there are regulations, but this thing... there is a lot of room for maneuver. Interest groups with various purposes have generously provided political donations. The political donations of these interest groups not only provide financial support to candidates, but also open up special channels for the interest groups themselves to reach Congress and the White House, as well as channels to exert influence on the formulation of various U.S. policies.
After all, others give money in order to repay you!
Those interest group investments naturally hope to be supported by live policies. And those personal investments must also be rewarded.
How to repay.
Of course let him be an official!
The most obvious example is the Kennedy family. Kennedy's father, Kennedy, became a diplomat by supporting the then president. Then he began to pave the way for Kennedy, and finally transformed the most famous political family.
In short, under this system, there is no so-called organizational principle at all.
The commissioner certainly dared to do this. Anyway, it is not a life-threatening position, and others will not complain.
Of course, more importantly, he tied Kai to the chariot. If you want to hold him accountable, then watch out, Kai is the direct person in charge of the New York police. If you have the guts, deal with him first!
Kai is not easy to mess with, and the political power behind him is not small at all.
In this way, he will be much safer hiding behind Kai.
The New York police system determines that the position of the police commissioner does not necessarily have to be a policeman, but because of this, every commissioner is a politician.
Kai is relatively slow about this and has not thought about it so much for the time being.
After thinking about it, there is nothing to be unhappy about.
Others are so sincere, why not agree? Although you don't care about power, you will have face if you say it out loud, right?
...
Later that day, the president came to the United Nations headquarters.
Those national representatives will naturally not do any political show with the US president. Except for a few countries that really regard the United States as their father and need to flatter, the representatives of other countries have no intention of putting on a show with the US president. Each country is urgently contacting the country.
This matter is too big, and the impact on international relations cannot be brought about by the death of hundreds of people.
This means that the United States can no longer maintain its position.
Once the United Nations headquarters moves, it means that a new situation will be formed. This is related to every country in the world, and no one will not care.
At the same time, S.H.I.E.L.D. is also having a headache about this matter.
"Why didn't our intelligence department notice this at all?!!" Nick Fury was roaring.
Nick Fury has a very deep mansion. Generally speaking, even if he is angry, he will not be too angry, and such a completely undisguised roar is even rarer.
Phil is not here this time. He and his team went to hunt a shark with Aquaman.
Well, a shark that looks like a human, or a human that looks like a shark. Anyway, this thing seems to have something to do with the abnormalities in the inner world. It ran out of the inner world.
This thing not only attacked an outpost in Atlantis, but also landed in Australia and ate a lot of people.
The one who took over Phil's scolding was the Indian agent.
