American Celestial Master

Chapter 187, Strange Stories from New York (2)

By the time Sean and the others arrived, Murphy and Jenny had already placed a woven bag on the shore.There must be a living person inside the woven bag, because he was struggling constantly, but the other two people were lying motionless on the shore.

When he saw Sean, Murphy told him what happened just now.Then he said: "I don't know what the specific thing is. For safety reasons, I kept them in an incapacitated state before you arrived. However, their lives are not in danger."

"Okay, let's leave this matter to us first. We will tell you the specific situation in a while," Sean said.

Then he asked people to move the sack and the other two people who were still unconscious into the helicopter.

More than an hour later, Murphy saw the feedback given by Sean on the tablet.

"It's nothing, it's just a matter between two gangs." After reading the feedback, Murphy said to Jenny, "It's nothing. They haven't seen you anyway. Alas, these two gangs are nothing. Good thing, I thought I could get some merit this time."

However, I can’t really explain the matter of merit. This thing is like dark matter. Before it takes effect, it’s hard to say whether or how much there is.

At School X, Fidel is hosting a friend from the political world - Sean's uncle, Senator Collina.

"Mr. Senator, are you saying that New York really needs to control drug abuse now?" Fidel asked.

"Yes, the situation now is different from before." Senator Collina said, "Although shipping has improved a little compared to before, it is still incomparable with the situation before the mysterious outbreak. The entire shipping volume It has shrunk to less than one-tenth of its previous size, and shipping costs have also increased significantly.

What's even worse is that the U.S. dollar is no longer easy to use.In the past, if we needed anything, we could simply exchange it for U.S. dollars. But now, on the one hand, due to the shrinkage of shipping, the demand for U.S. dollars in the market has been greatly reduced, and there are already too many U.S. dollars in the market. .On the other hand, it is also because the U.S. Navy and even the U.S. military have almost lost their ability to intervene in other parts of the world due to changes in the sea.After all, without sea transportation, the power projection capability that can be maintained by aviation alone is far from enough.

The result is that, on the one hand, the goods we need cannot be shipped, and it is too expensive to ship them; on the other hand, those countries are increasingly unwilling to use US dollars, and actually require the use of gold or barter trade.Therefore, the shortage of various commodities in our country is becoming more and more serious.And it can no longer be solved by trade as before.Now we must revive American manufacturing.Well, that orange fool must be pretty happy with where he is right now.

To restart manufacturing, the current state of drug addiction must be controlled.Although pharmaceutical companies have a very large influence, in today's situation, even they know that if they continue, everyone will be doomed.So at least in New York, we need to turn this situation around as quickly as possible. "

"But this kind of thing should be done by the police department. We are just ordinary businessmen." Fidel said.

"Many gangs now have extraordinary powers involved, but the New York State Police Department has almost no such power." Senator Collina explained, "Moreover, the police department is constrained by various laws to deal with these matters. ." Fidel knew that the police department's restraint was not due to legal restrictions.You must know that the American police are famous for their decisiveness, but it is also true that the police department lacks extraordinary power. After all, compared to dynamic social groups, the police department - the police department is not without money, but it is not easy to get money. In the hands of people working on the front line, even if you are an extraordinary person.The bureaucracy system has such flaws.The result is, of course, "This is only a few dollars, who is willing to work hard for this little money?"

"You also know that some extraordinary means can now circumvent the law and do a lot of things that the law cannot determine. For example, you must know that there are a lot of situations where evidence that can be certified in court is not left behind. extraordinary means to kill a person. Now if we want to take action against these dynamic social groups, or force them to change their way of life, we must be able to prevent them from using such means, and even have the power to overwhelm them in this regard. ” Senator Collina continued.

"But the government doesn't do a very good job on this matter." Fidel laughed.

"Isn't it just bad? It's simply terrible!" said Councilor Collina. "Originally, the government has much more appeal than those social groups. Moreover, the resources in the hands of the government are not comparable to those groups. And In fact, if the government is willing to allocate some resources, even if it is a little less than those of social groups, more superheroes will still be willing to serve the government. But..."

"But Congress didn't approve a budget?" Fidel said.

"Who said that? Congress approved two emergency appropriations, and then the money was thrown into the water. Even if it was thrown into the water, it still has to make some noise, don't you think? But these The money was thrown out, and then nothing happened. Then the Republican guys organized a committee and sent people to check the accounts. Then, the person sent suddenly died of myocardial infarction in his sleep... So, the third emergency appropriation , Congress has not passed it now - at this time, not to mention the Republican guys, even us, it is difficult to vote in favor - anyway, if we agree, it will not pass. But you say you can blame us for this matter? "

"Then New York State..."

"Whether it's New York State or the federal government, civil servants are not good people. They are all more cunning than Humphrey. Well, have you seen "The Minister"? Although in terms of bureaucracy, our United States is still a little stronger than the United Kingdom. Yes, at least we still have fewer generals than tanks. Well, so, there are some things we need to get some support from you."

"We don't want to have a direct conflict with guys who have backgrounds in big pharmaceutical companies," Fidel said.

"This is natural. They are not opposed to the subsequent actions. In fact, the things we want to crack down on will not have a big impact on them. Most of those excessive things come from Mexico, and they don't require anything. As for the technical content, they won’t talk about patents or anything like that, so they are even willing to see these guys take some hits.”

"What about the CIA and the others?"

"We gave them time to deal with relevant matters. They also know that they cannot stand against the interests of the entire country. In fact, during this period, they have been cleaning up their hands."

"Ah, if that's the case, I personally don't have any objections. But for the final decision, I have to discuss it with my friends. Well, in addition, to clean up the mess, don't do it in certain sections of the Hudson River. Do it. Where is our territory."
