The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1654 No time to die (44)

Batman has never doubted whether Gotham needs him. Gotham needs everyone with a sense of justice. If they can't save it, they can at least make it a little bit better.

Batman's way to save Gotham is to fight criminals, but now there is a question, who are the criminals?
In other words, who is not a criminal?
It's like, in a group of ten people, if one person kills the other nine people with a knife, Batman must attack this person, but if ten people cut each other with a knife, things will become a little difficult .

If these ten people slash and rob at the same time, rob and be robbed at the same time, but enjoy it at the same time, or even don't run away at all, then most people will choose to respect and bless, and don't die at my door.

Now the upper city and the middle city are in a mess, and the residents in the densely populated areas of the lower city are actively participating in the war. 70.00% of the population in a city is fighting, and they are fighting very happily. There is no decadence and sadness that was destroyed by the war. .

It can even be said that the recent period has been the most prosperous period in Gotham in ten years.

First of all, the increase in population is indispensable in the competition for land. The residences of various families absorb a large number of people from the lower urban areas, which is a good solution to the wave of layoffs due to the economic downturn due to sanctions. Gangsters are a specialty of the unemployment era.

Secondly, consolidating the security measures of the family residence requires a lot of materials, transporting materials requires logistics, and building a logistics system requires more materials, which greatly stimulates the consumption and domestic demand of the city, and all the things in the residence are actually built. , To some extent, it can be regarded as the development of industry.

In the end, war will inevitably consume weak individuals, and at the same time open an upward channel for strong and young individuals. Because of the high loss of personnel, the job iteration is fast, and the job of gangster thugs does not require any difficult skills. Educational and class barriers are almost Does not exist, as long as you are not afraid of death, you can ride the east wind of the times and move forward, going further and further on the road of crime.

There are a large number of employment opportunities, a large amount of capital invested in the industry, distribution of economic dividends to the bottom, and the opening of an upward channel for seeking more benefits or realizing self-worth. This can temporarily eliminate almost all contradictions and make the poisonous weeds on this chaotic land take root. Then climb up and grow new, good, healthy branches.

Of course, war can never be good. Such chaos means the loss of thousands of lives. When Batman stands on the highest point of Gotham and looks down, he can hear desperate cries every second. But the sound of gunfire was even more deafening.

To be shattered on the battlefield full of gunfire, or to die silently in the delicate and lingering rainy night, neither of these two is a good choice, but Batman understands Gotham people so well, and if they give them [-] million more chances, they still choose one.

These rare villains in the world never feel sorry for themselves. They only spew out smoke hotter than the flue of hell from the barrel-like trachea. Death will make their evil blood splatter farther. Let everyone know that no one deserves to be guilty except them.

Batman doesn't pity them either, because this bloody flower that only needs a rain to fully bloom is the good fruit they are begging for, but Batman can't accept it, absolutely can't accept that this rain doesn't even have a drop of him.

Gotham is good or bad, Batman can't just be a spectator, and it is even more impossible for him to leave Gotham alone in this era of drastic change. Even if someone must stand on the top of the wave in this era, it must be him, and it will always be him .

On another rainy night, the black cloak, which was darker than the night, cut off the rain and swooped down. Listening carefully, the sound of gunfire was more dull than before, like when the cold was gone and everything was growing. Daoshi shocked the spring thunder.

Batman joins the feast of chaos, but not as Batman.

Even though his birds are still guarding him, but this time, Batman has become the leader of the Neville family, and as a player in the game instead of a law enforcer, he completely walks through the process of establishing the gangster family and fighting for hegemony. over again.

Batman once mixed with gangsters under the false identity of Match Malone, but still the same sentence, in the years after his debut, the gangsters in Gotham have long been out of the limelight. It is said that the gangsters are just like the Iceberg Restaurant created by the Penguin It's just a collection of interests that are half black and half gray.

But this time, Batman participated in the process of establishing a complete traditional gangster family, or it should be said that it was the establishment process of an Italian family-style gang.

The biggest characteristic of family-style gangs is that many things should not be based on profit, but on righteousness. They must emphasize affection and family ties. Family blood or emotional ties are the cages that restrain violence, and they are also the biggest means of fast, accurate and ruthless attacks. thrust.

The essence of manipulation is love. If the gang leader only cares about interests, then one day his subordinates will betray him because of interests. If they want to keep the dog on the leash firmly, they will naturally have to talk about love and affection.

Emotion is something that no one can explain clearly. It is a muddled account that no matter how you calculate it, if a person makes everyone else have the illusion of being loved, then everyone owes him and has to be respected. Love him, love him, and be loyal to him.

In order to really develop the Neville family, which is actually only an empty shell, Bruce must first recruit people, but in the process of recruiting people, he found that almost all the family leaders have adopted the charismatic recruitment method .

To put it simply, I don't talk about money or treatment with you. You just need to know that I never treat my subordinates badly, follow me and have meat to eat. I can accept you, understand you and reuse you more than others. Friends die.

Bruce, who has sufficient experience in running a modern company, had to start comparing the human resources model of the modern company system with the traditional gangsters, and why the recruitment model of the company system was not good.

After several attempts, Bruce discovered that the key problem was the difference in the nature and danger of the work.

How well you do the ordinary work of blowing the air conditioner and typing on the keyboard in the office has little to do with the personality of the boss. Even if the boss does not manage well and the company goes bankrupt, the worst thing is that he will lose his job and just find another job.

But fighting is really deadly. Although all applicants who are interested in gangsters are ready to die, who doesn't want to live longer?

They must be assured that their immediate superiors are principled, empathetic, intelligent, and energetic, so that they will not drag subordinates to their deaths because of selfishness or stupidity.

If the charisma of his boss doesn't even look up to him, then what kind of smart person would be willing to follow him?If there are no smart people and professionals, wouldn't going to the battlefield be death?
Under such circumstances, Bruce had to adjust his dialogue style. The old image of an elite businessman who was smart and capable and knowledgeable about all kinds of market data and market conditions must be abandoned. No one here will talk to you about stock trends.

What everyone is concerned about is whether the defense line on the flank of the base is well arranged, how to arrange the attack on the adjacent street tomorrow, whether there are enough bullets, and how long the people from the certain family on the opposite side can last.

Almighty like Batman, he immediately changed his old style, and almost instantly adjusted to the leader of gang thugs who walk with style, domineering but loyal, attack like a fire, and defend like an old dog image.

But soon, Bruce discovered another problem. The thugs gathered in Neville's family were all incredibly young, most of them were [-] or [-] years old.

Although those who dare to come out to do this work have already developed a relatively strong body, even if they are young, they look like strong guys on the outside, but Bruce really can't understand that there are a few young guys like this. At least eight out of ten are young people like this.

There is another thing that is wrong, which also makes Bruce a little puzzled. Although he has changed his behavior style and is as close to the gangster style as possible, he will occasionally show his Batman side. Bruce is trying to avoid such situations as much as possible. He also knows that as the patriarch of a gangster family, Batman's character is not very pleasing.

But whenever Bruce inadvertently reveals his Batman side, these young men of his will show fanatical admiration expressions, and the more Batman keeps silent and doesn't explain, the more fanatical the atmosphere will be.

Although these two phenomena are strange, the development they have brought to the Neville family is indeed very positive. On the one hand, the boxing is afraid of the young, and the gang fire is an enlarged version of the street fight. The age advantage is still very beneficial.

Young people dare to fight hard, have quick reactions, are more likely to accept new knowledge during training, and are very flexible in mind. Even with Batman's extremely critical and demanding eyes, he can pick out a few plastic ones from among them. Material plays a key role.

And, they have almost reached the level of admiration for Bruce, so they are naturally loyal, and there is no problem with their execution ability. They can even be said to fight wherever they go and prohibit orders. This is something that many other gangsters cannot do. Naturally, they can help Neville The family has the upper hand.

But even so, Batman, hopelessly skeptical and control freak, wondered, what could be causing this?

So, he started a comprehensive investigation, and also visited among his subordinates, trying to figure out why it seemed that all the young people in Gotham had gathered here.

Batman checked for three full days. From the research on Gotham's declining birthrate to the prospect of Gotham's aging era, he checked the birth structure of Gotham's urban population. After careful analysis, he found that the problem should be Not on Gotham, but on him.

Then, he conducted some self-investigation and reflection. Just when he almost felt that it was his own problem, Batman suddenly realized——

The person in charge of the Neville family soliciting the initial screening is Tim Drake, his Red Robin.
