I'm going to have a fight with Superman

Chapter 211 Harley also wants to be the mayor?
"Are you going to run for mayor?" Harry asked strangely.

Watching the TV news two days ago, she thought the penguin was joking.

But today, he officially signed up.

"I" on the other end of the phone, Coppert's voice was tired, hesitating to speak, hesitating.

"Hey there's no way forward, I want to widen the track."

In the end, he still didn't tell the truth.

He wasn't sure how she would react.

However, he is very aware of his relationship with her.

No matter how many flowers that represent "friendship lasts forever", they will not really regard each other as friends.

Copperpot once regarded her as a good friend, even a savior.

But in the United Hospital incident, he obeyed the arrangement of the court and actually murdered her.

Since then, he has completely given up the fantasy of being her friend.

Because, if it were him, he would never regard a person who repays kindness and hatred as a friend.

Since he was not a friend, the most he could expect from her was to sympathize with him.

But does he need sympathy from others?

It is almost impossible for her to help with all her strength.

She couldn't get much help, and when she knew Galavan's true face, she would probably attack him again. He was willing to work with her to kill Galavan.

It's a pity that she will definitely not be as scruples about his mother as he is.

Nobody cares about his mom but himself!
If she attacked Galavan, Galavan would be furious, and then attack his mother.

This complicated but reasonable thought, just a short moment of stupefaction, turned a few times in Cobblepot's belly.

Then, he lied.

At least these few days, he will cooperate with Galavan honestly and buy time to search for his mother's location.

Once he saves his mother, he will make that bastard regret being born in this world!
Harry didn't know Cobbot's complicated thoughts.

She reluctantly believed it when she heard him hesitantly say that he wanted to expand his business.

Because in her mind, Copperpot had always been ambitious but smart.

Be smart so that he won't rashly challenge her on the road.

Ambition made him unwilling to be content with the status quo.

Therefore, he had nowhere to go and wanted to walk very much, so he had no choice but to embark on the white road, which was very reasonable. Until a few days later, he killed his first competitor.

"No, the incident is so big that almost everyone in the world knows that he killed the person, so how can you be the mayor?"

Harry opened several pages of the newspaper in a row, all of which either implicitly implied or directly pointed out that the Penguin was using illegal means to cut out his opponent.

The comments on this matter on the Internet are even more naked and naked, directly wailing "Gotham is over, the black country is too unscrupulous".

A few days later, when Cobpot and another female environmentalist were down to six candidates, Lowry's call came.

"What is Coppert doing, and why breaking the 'stable pattern'?" she asked.

"It's not his style, it's so stupid," Harry said.

Laurie said: "The times are different, the news media is too developed now.

Especially the rotten affair between you and the Crusaders, which once occupied the headlines around the world for several months. People all over the world are used to eating melons and eating melons. The news media of various countries subconsciously pay special attention to Gotham.

Follow the dark side of Gotham.

To put it bluntly, it's just a joke about our country.

Use our pain to decorate their happiness.

Just yesterday, the Russian news agency actually compared the Gotham election with Mexico.

Fake!

You go to see the comments of foreign netizens, all of them are "Fortunately, we were born in Great Russia", "I have no regrets in this life to enter Russia", "The United States is so scary".
How much damage will this do to the image of the United States? !

Moreover, how great would we be if there were no wealthy foreign people who brought huge assets to the United States, and no top college students from top foreign universities brought the wisdom cultivated in their motherland to serve the United States? "

"So serious"

Harry is a little ready to move, shouldn't he work harder and indirectly make some contributions to the great dynasty of the universe?
To scare back those rich people and elite science intellectuals?

Laurie said in a deep voice, "Very serious! The White House and the Pentagon were alarmed, and they even began to consider whether they should follow the example of the countries in the east and send out the federal army to carry out a major campaign against gangsters and evil in Gotham."

Harry frowned. As long as the Court of Owls was still there, they would try their best to use their connections to prevent the federal army from entering Gotham.

Because, the army will break the old order.

That is, their most comfortable ruling environment.

But once she destroys the court, she loses the influence of the Gotham ruling class in Washington.
Harley recalled Nolan's "Dark Knight Trilogy", the last one, Bane alone made Gotham a completely lawless place-the American government gave up its rule and control over Gotham. Management, send troops to block the main import and export of the city.

In fact, what she didn't know was that in the American TV series "Gotham", in the comics of "Batman", and even in the anime, Gotham was once abandoned by the White House - there were too many criminals, and the military suppression failed, so the city had to be locked down.

Even if she doesn't know the plot of the comics, Harley can deduce and simulate it in her mind. When Gotham's crimes expand to a certain extent, the US government will definitely take action against it.

The reason is very simple.

Gotham is an important city in the United States.

Gotham's laws and governance system are the same as the rest of the United States.

If Gotham's laws and systems collapse completely, it will inevitably set an example for the evil forces in other cities.

The power of role models is powerful. When the overall situation in the United States is corrupted, the American dream will become the biggest joke in the world.

Therefore, in order to prevent cancer cells from spreading throughout the body, once Gotham gets out of control, Washington has to eradicate "Gotham" like a tumor.

"Miss Laurie called me, did she want me to get rid of Copperpot, or something else?" Harry asked.

"Was Copper the mastermind?" asked Laurie.

"Eighty percent not."

"If the black hand gets his wish and becomes the mayor, will he keep himself safe and restore peace to Gotham?" Laurie asked again.

Harley chuckled and understood the bottom line of the US government: as long as they maintain a bright appearance, as long as they can continue to weave the false American dream, they don't care who sits on the mayor's throne.

"No, the unrest will continue," she said.

"Why?" Laurie asked.

"My No. [-] fighting arena in the world has a set of boxer strength evaluation levels, do you know?" Harry laughed.

"What's the point of that?"

"Well, have you seen China's "Dream of Red Mansions"?" Harry asked again.

"Oh, don't beat around the bush, I'm busy, and you will be too." Laurie said impatiently.

"The boxer evaluation is divided into eight levels, the lowest level is the GCPD patrol card, and the street patrol has the power to collect protection fees for shops in the neighborhood.

The second level is the senior agent card. They are eligible to submit a certificate and receive multiple salaries.

The third level, Sheriff card, sitting in the office to collect black money, comfortable.

The fourth level, police supervisor card.

The fifth level, the chief of police card.

The level also includes district prosecutors and judges.

The sixth level, the mayor card, includes councilors and government officials at the same level.

The seventh level, Harika.

The eighth level, Wayne card, is not limited to Wayne, including wealthy families in the political and business circles. "

""Dream of Red Mansions" has official protection charms, and the above-level cards are actually a set of life-saving charms for life in Gotham." Harley said with a smile.

Laurie was thoughtful, "So even becoming the mayor will not be able to rule Gotham. The black hands may continue to climb up and continue to destroy the original order until..."

"As the leader of the seventh-level 'Halika', what countermeasures do you have?"

Her voice became serious.

Halle said honestly: "The current situation is actually in my favor.

Chaos originates from above, not a direct threat to my rule.

In other words, it hurt Gotham's top ruling class far more than it threatened me.

At other times, the top class of the power pyramid is impenetrable, unattainable, and unbreakable.

Now, the top floor is threatened and thrown into chaos.

Chaos is a ladder, some go down and some go up.

I, the "seventh-level boss" who lives on the second floor, also have the opportunity to think about the position of the eighth-level king.

It's not that I'm ambitious and uneasy about the status quo, it's just that when the opportunity comes, it's too stupid not to grasp it. "

Laurie didn't speak for a long time.

She was stunned.

I opened my mouth several times, but still didn't say the words of admonition.

Who would be willing to be a younger brother if he could be a boss!

At least Harry was willing to open his heart to her, without hiding anything.

"What are you going to do?" Laurie asked shyly.

"Until you make this call, I intend to continue to sit on Diaoyutai, for now."

Harry looked hesitant, "Do you think, should I pick the melons of the mastermind first and run for the mayoral election?
Or, wait for him to jump out, and follow the way in the past, start a big fire and kill him physically?
Anyway, when you call me, you're asking me to fulfill my double duty as godfather of Gotham and FBI agent to keep Gotham stable, right?

Either way can do it.

The former represents a new era; the latter represents a return to the old order of the past. "

Laurie was shocked again, and said in a complicated tone: "I have to discuss it with the White House."

"OK, I'll wait for your order." Harry smiled.

"Order." Laurie smiled wryly, "I'm afraid the president can't order you now."

"How could it be? I have never forgotten my original intention and my identity as a federal police officer. Long live Millikin!" Halle shouted.

Laurie hung up the phone directly.

Harry leaned back on the boss chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest.

After a long time, she exchanged old Gibbs, "Go and find out, Coppert's mother is still there."

"Did he die, or what?" The old man didn't quite understand what she meant.

"I suspect that someone kidnapped his mother and threatened him as cannon fodder." Harry said.

"The mayor campaign, and there are behind-the-scenes?" The old man became more and more puzzled, "Is it worth it for the position of mayor?"

For the sake of the position of the sixth-level mayor, it is indeed a bit unbelievable to offend the seventh-level godfather Coppert to death.

"If you're told to go, you go, there's so much nonsense!" Harry glared at him sharply.

The old man shrank his neck and ran away in a desperate manner.

Only an hour later, he ran back and looked at Harry in awe, "Boss, you are amazing, Penguin's mother has been out of contact for more than a week.

But he has been hiding it, and only quietly sent his confidants to search around. "

Harry sneered, "Let's see which smart guy catches the penguin's little tail."

Three days later, the final contender, the "powerful" female African-American vegetarian environmentalist, was stormed into the office by Copperpot and killed.

That night, Theo Galavan was interviewed by journalists, impassioned, denounced the arrogance of the black state, and called on the people of Gotham to unite and defend the law and democracy.

During the period, several reporters heard their blood rushing up and shouted "Theo come out and save the people of Gotham".

Galavan struggled, saying that he had to think carefully.

"So it's you bastard again!" Harry sneered.

　I have to explain that according to the laws of the United States, Harley cannot run for mayor because she is not old enough, and she is not a native of Gotham, and she has not lived in enough years.

　　But this is fiction. I remember an American drama in which a child became the president of the United States.

　　In fact, the Americans are very pragmatic. They have very strict requirements on the qualifications of candidates, and it is even difficult for ordinary people to meet the standards.

　　For example, in the "Gotham" American TV series, both Copperpot and Galavan participated in the election.

　　But under real election law, neither of them qualified.

　　Galavan is an outsider and is not eligible to run for mayor of Gotham City.

　　Coppert has a black background and is also not eligible.

　　In the comics, there is also Lex Luthor who participated in the presidential election of the United States and succeeded.

　　This also does not correspond to reality.

　　The U.S. election law does not explicitly discriminate against people with criminal records, but we all know that in many cases, unspoken rules are more terrifying.

　　In the US elections, felons, especially criminals with a history of mental illness, are simply unable to run for important government positions, such as the president and mayor.

　　Luthor is a well-known super criminal. When he ran for the presidency, N years had passed since Doomsday. How many people were killed on Doomsday, and he still wanted to run for president. What a dream!

　　But in the comics, he succeeded.

　　So, let me explain here, it's not that I don't have common sense, but that movies and comics are too surreal.
