Chapter 319

In the following time, Jack became very busy,

He registered a company whose main business is to provide information support services to the government.

People often see on TV reports that there are many homeless people in the back alleys of New York, and many middle-aged people begging in airports and train stations, but where these people live and how they live, The New York City Information Center has no data at all.

Here I have to mention a chronic disease in New York City;
New York has a population of nearly 600 million and nearly 50 civil servants.
Logically speaking, the ratio of public servants to residents is still good, and it should be able to serve New Yorkers well, but in fact, the infrastructure construction in New York City is close to none!

Most communities rely entirely on self-help committees of residents to get their own way, and they usually only focus on upper-middle-class families who can pay taxes, and because they pay, their opinions matter.

What about the rest of the poor who cannot pay taxes?
They would be slowly pushed out into poorer neighborhoods.

This creates a closed loop where the rich live normal lives and the poor live abnormal lives.

The previous Hell's Kitchen is an example. Most of the residents living in it are people who came to New York by smuggling;

This group of people obviously don't pay taxes.

So naturally there will be no corresponding welfare facilities here!

Let's not talk about medical insurance and hospitals, just talk about education...

The community school in Hell's Kitchen is nothing!
Teenagers who grow up here will leave school voluntarily or passively when they are about 12 to 16 years old, and the United States has strict child labor protection policies, so they cannot get normal jobs.
Next, they will follow their father and brother to do some abnormal jobs, such as selling washing powder, such as being a gunman!
Compared with the backbone members of the gang, hiring a minor as a gunman is simply a lucrative business.

They have not yet formed a concept of right and wrong, as long as they are guided a little, they will have the courage and reason to do anything.

Usually these teenagers would be caught by the police quickly because of their experience, but it didn't matter, after entering and exiting the juvenile detention center a few times, they would become veterans!

The gang then recruits these veterans into its own organization as full members.

So far, Hell's Kitchen has formed its own ecological chain, which is difficult for outsiders to break.

Although Jack reached an agreement with Jin Bin, and the latter's subordinates also left New York according to the agreement, but the ecological chain of Hell's Kitchen is not broken, then a new boss will replace Jin Bin soon, and then it will be the same again.

After paying such a high price, Jack certainly wouldn't allow Hell's Kitchen to change back, but he found that he didn't have the data at all if he wanted to prescribe the right medicine.

How many people live in this building, their backgrounds, their names, the city hall has no information at all!
This is an extremely difficult thing to do, but Jack found an opportunity.

It is of course impossible to establish an oriental neighborhood committee system in New York City. Not only does the city hall not have that much budget, but it is also impossible for the residents to accept it.

But as mutants from all over the country came to New York to rescue, Jack had a plan in mind.

He formed a mutant information consulting company, and commissioned mutants to become New York grid members, starting from Hell's Kitchen, to sort out the population of New York City,

If it was an ordinary consulting company, they would not dare to enter these poor communities, because they would be robbed of all their belongings, and even blacked out.
But the mutants are different, even the mutants with the least talent, they have a little special ability at least, with three people as a group, they still have the ability to protect themselves!

Katie became the general manager of the company, and she will be responsible for coordinating mutants to travel all over New York, collecting all the situation in New York, and providing data support for Jack's medical reform plan.

On the other side, Joe Rota quickly took the initiative to meet Jack.

Jack's donation to Cornell University has played a role. He came this time to discuss with Jack the specific scope of the city hall expansion budget proposal.

After the two finished their business, Joe Rota invited Jack to a private party he hosted.

Jack naturally accepted it.

When the appointed time came, Jack first went to the base of the watchtower to pick up Elizabeth, and then the two rushed to a wealthy community in Queens.

The United States has a high level of support for academia, so the benefits of scholars and professors are also quite good. To put it simply, basically those who can become professors in the United States are from the middle class and above.

Although they will not choose to live in a rich area like Long Island, they will also form their own living circle,
The community where Joe Rota lives is one of them. The guests he invited this time, except for Jack who is a government official, are all senior scholars.
Of course, they have another characteristic, which is basically inextricably linked with Cornell University.

After Joe Rota introduced everyone's identities, Jack understood that this was a thank-you meeting, and it might also be a lobbying party.

As No.1 in charge of New York, although Jack took office not long ago, he has already encountered many such situations.

The political structure of the United States is two-way, and Jack needs the support of Joe Rota at this time, hoping that he will push for an increase in budgeting, and then push for health care reform,

At the same time, Joe Rota also needs Jack's support, hoping to increase support for the New York Scholars Committee, and improve Cornell University's support for enrollment and expansion across the United States.

This is the so-called private grant.

After understanding Joe Rota's expectations, Jack of course readily accepted.

This kind of exchange happens all the time in America, and Jack has a good reputation for supporting academia. No one would say that a mayor who pays attention to education is a shortcoming!
Both sides got what they wanted, and the atmosphere of the party naturally became more and more enthusiastic.

Elizabeth was taken away by a group of wives who were trying to make new biscuits.

And Jack, Joe Rota and others began to express their views on various issues in the United States,
As the alcohol entered the brain, this kind of conversation of expressing their opinions gradually formed a voice, which was to scold the president!

That's right, scolding the president!

There are no outstanding politicians in American academia, but they are all keen to interpret and criticize many policies in the United States, and they will eventually find that,

The current president is really rubbish, his policies are a bunch of shit, he will only mess up the United States!

Then they will feel the emotion of "I can do it, it's better than you".

Jack felt the madness of the academic world.

After a whole night of coping like this, everyone left and Jack and Elizabeth took the opportunity to escape.

Because Jack was drinking, Elizabeth became his driver.

"Sorry for dragging you to such a boring party."

Sitting in the co-pilot, Jack was very guilty. Elizabeth still couldn't fully grasp the new superpowers at this time, but because of her own reasons, she had to come to this party.

Elizabeth glanced at Jack, suddenly chuckled and said, "You and I are one, why do we have to separate them so clearly."

Jack was happy, at this moment he knew that he was very close to marriage.

And Elizabeth went on to say: "During the process of drinking tea just now, Mrs. Rota has been complaining that the foundation she serves is useless. Is she implying something?"

Jack rubbed his face and asked casually, "What foundation does she work for?"

"Caring for Women and Children Foundation."

Jack nodded, "I see!"

There has never been a clear rule that a female partner must be brought to a party like this, but everyone usually brings a female partner. This is because there are many problems that men cannot directly talk about, and they will be passed on to each other through women.

Obviously, Jack is going broke again!
Early the next morning, Jack sent Elizabeth back to the watchtower base, and drove alone to the mutant support club in New York City.

Here, more than 400 mutants are ready to go.

Standing on the podium, Jack looked at the faces full of confident smiles under the stage, and couldn't help feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

Behind Jack stood Katie and Cheney.

In fact, in terms of contributions to mutants alone, Katie and Cheney have paid more, but they have always given credit to Jack.

That's why Jack can become the spiritual leader of this generation of mutants.

"Everyone, we are about to embark on a difficult and great journey. In the far east, there is a spirit called the Long March spirit. I hope you can carry forward this spirit!"

"Maybe, when you first visit, you will encounter a lot of abuse and incomprehension, but don't be afraid, because we are doing the same great and noble cause,"

"As long as we unite as one, we will win the final victory!"

After Jack finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.

Then Cheney gave an order, and the mutants quickly formed more than 100 groups, driving more than 100 cars towards Hell's Kitchen.

Watching the last car leave, Jack turned to Katie and asked:

"Champion Squad, Expendables, and the New X-Men all in place?"

Katie nodded and replied: "They have already gone to Hell's Kitchen for control."

Jack hummed, and then explained: "We must ensure the personal safety of our mutant grid personnel. I have already said hello to the police station. George Stacy will lead his team to deploy in every block. , but the more this is the case, the less we can be careless.”

Katie smiled lightly: "Combined with the Edith system provided by Tony, this is already triple insurance. I believe mutants can complete this task."

"You mean I'm a little worried?" Jack joked.

Cheney on the side immediately answered, "No, you are being cautious enough."

Jack couldn't help laughing,
Then he left Katie and Cheney in charge, and he rushed to the Justice League's new base, an artificial island north of Manhattan.

Tony is a man who likes to play big. The Stark Industrial Building has been completely destroyed in the New York War.
After the war, he bought the artificial island as the new base of the Justice League.

In terms of spending money, Tony really wants to beat Jack by more than three blocks.

In the laboratory, Jack saw Tony and Dr. Banner with two dark circles under his eyes.

"Tony, how long have you been up?"

Before Tony spoke, Dr. Banner on the side yawned again and again and said:
"Three days, 25 hours to be exact, he squinted for half an hour in the middle, I don't think that can be called a rest..."

"Okay, Banner, the world is dangerous, how can you still sleep peacefully!"

"Okay, it's this sentence again, although I know what you said is very reasonable, but I don't think you can't work well if you can't have a good rest..."

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Jack changed the topic and said:
"What are you guys busy with?"

Tony snorted, and Banner could only explain:
"Tony intends to re-optimize the mind shielding device, take advantage of Zhenjin's high-efficiency energy transmission, create a mind shielding device satellite, and then launch it into space to achieve the goal of protecting the entire human race."

After hearing this answer, Jack couldn't help being stunned.

Tony is really daring to think about it!

It's not that this matter is unreliable, but the technical difficulty involved must be quite high!

But Jack was also looking forward to it, and he couldn't help asking:
"So which step is it now, is there any possibility of success?"

Dr. Banner curled his lips and said: "We are still thinking about where to find an energy source with enough energy. If we want to protect everyone, the energy required is amazing. It is obviously impossible to rely on the Ark reactor alone!"

In any case, if there is a problem, there will be a solution. Jack has confidence in Tony. In terms of scientific research and creation, he will basically not disappoint people.

No matter how difficult it is, can you still feel sad about traveling through time and space?

Maybe all Tony needs is more time.

It's just that what he lacks most now is time, so Jack is here!
"Tony, I need you to help me build a mind shield on the New Xavier Building and the New Stark Building to ensure that the people living in the Hell's Kitchen area will not be under the control of the professor."

Tony came to his senses, he realized that Jack had a plan,
"What do you want to do?"

Jack replied: "I'm trying to find a way to slowly transfer mutants across America to Hell's Kitchen..."

Tony thought about it carefully, and retorted:
"This shouldn't be of much use. Even if he can't control the mutants in Hell's Kitchen, he can still control other ordinary people. When it comes to the critical moment, we are still wary and can only agree to all his requests."

Jack nodded. He knew that what Tony was thinking was right, but as long as it could delay the situation a little, it wouldn't be a loss.

Later, at Jack's insistence, Tony and Dr. Banner finally left the laboratory and went to rest.

Starting from the second day, they will first create two mind shielding devices that can cover Hell's Kitchen.

In order that Tony would not die suddenly, when Jack left the Justice League base, he called Pepper, who was busy with the operation of Stark Industries,

But after Jack described Tony's current situation, the latter said he would keep an eye on Tony.

After doing all this, Jack has accomplished everything he can do, and the rest can only depend on the future arrangement of fate.
